You're Next and the Greatest Final Girl There Ever Was

- Adam Wingard's You're Next is easily one of the best slashers of the last decade. Combining a isolated setting, fun twist, and a final girl to top them all, it's insane that the movie was shelved for almost 2 years before release. It's safe to say, Wingard was lookin' for the magic. Here's my review. #YoureNext

Erin is like, the right way to do everything Hollywood keeps trying to force with all the female empowerment. Like, this character is exactly the subtle way to create a true female badass. ❤️🖤
You said it better than I did. Unfortunately if this movie came out today it would be ruined for me before I even saw it by the GIRL POWER obsessed media. It really pisses me off, since I always loved well written strong females like Ripley and Sarah Conner, the gals from The Descent, Sheriff Brody's wife in Jaws 4 (kidding) but now I get called misogynist because I don't like Terminator Dark Fate or Ghostbusters. smh.
You said it. Hollywood needs to watch Alien+Aliens and the first two Terminator movies to remind how to make great female caracters.
I never understand that "men didn't see it" argument, as if they think the movie-going public is entirely male. It's also absurd to imply women don't like action films or comic book films, as Banks did. If those films make their millions off of just men, why couldn't her film make millions off just women? It's almost like quality matters or something.
Can you suggest me more movies like you are next where protagonist fight back
Very correct!
Erin never even showed fear. She went straight into taking control of the situation and making the killers question their own decisions. She’s awesome
I'm disappointed that this movie doesn't get the praise it deserves. It's just awesome.
Exactly it’s definitely in my Top 20 horror movies
I feel like it was ahead of it's time. It would blow up today for sure.
I also liked NO ONE LIVES 😮
That intro was the only correct way to begin talking about You’re Next.
Haha thank you!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Honestly you're kind of good at singing
Erin definitely has to go down as one the greatest Final Girls EVER !
Agreed!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews
What's your grading scale for movie ratings (this is the first video I have seen by you)?
I believe that You're Next is a classic
Nice Try I believe, your looking for drama
Honestly I wish it was, sadly everyone forgot about it
Babylon that’s really sad
That video title though sounds like an actual film:
"You're Next and the Best Final Girl There Ever Was" sounds very Tarantino.
You’re Next is awesome. I love seeing the protagonist kick the killers’ asses. Glad you finally got around to reviewing this! Now get to May, or I’ll eat your movie collection.
Can you suggest me more movies like you are next

One of the best home invasion horrors and one bad ass final girl, Thanks for this Lee
I met Barbara Crampton who played the matriarch of the film and I told her this was one of my favorite horror films of the last decade and she told me this was her first return to horror films since the '90s and was quite proud of this film.
really cool! I really enjoyed her in the movie and didn't want her to die lol
When I first saw this at theaters I really didn't like the reason everything was happening I felt it was to simple, flash forward a year I get another chance to check it out and that's when I realized that the reason although simple is still something that actually happens in the real world. It was after my second viewing that I fell in love with this movie and I now include it in my favorite "Women who don't take no crap" collection.
You're Next is very entertaining. Erin is a strong character. I can't wait to see what Adam Wingard does with Godzilla vs. Kong either this year or next year.
You're Next is easily one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. Love the movie and Erin. If you want another movie with Sharni Venson that's good is the shark movie Bait. It's about a group of people that get trapped in a grocery store due to a tsunami and sharks get involved. Simple premise but still a fun movie. Love a review of it. Great review Lee
Bait 2: Chum
I was born on Halloween in 1974, thought I heard almost all the cool tunes from those times and still can't believe it took 4 decades for me to hear "Looking for the magic" for the first time in this movie.
Same here... Born Dec 1974..You should check the music video to the song. If I'm not wrong, there's a young Tom petty in the video...
This movie was an instant classic when I first saw it, a home invasion/slasher movie fusion, a tasty recipe
You`re Next rocks as a slasher movie , The Blender kill scene is one of the best kills in that movie.
This movie is one of those ones that makes you feel like there is hope for horror slashers after all!! It is a perfect movie from beginning to end! Btw Lee ( standing and clapping) Bravo my friend bravo!! That into was stellar!!! 🤣🤣🤣
What I love about what they did with Erin was that they did not go out of their way to justify why she was a bad-ass. They just had her say that she grew up in a concentration camp(?) and that was that. No emotional flashbacks whatsoever, they just let her be bad-ass.
Agreed. Just one simple scene of dialogue.
Most underrated AND the best! TOTAL BADASS!
Like the song at the beginning!
About a year or so ago, my cousin showed me this movie and before we started watching it he asked me: "Who's your favorite final girl?" I said "Either Nancy Thompson or Sidney Prescott." After watching this movie, I found me my new favorite final girl! I'm glad to finally have this review see the light of day. It's a really underrated film and a film that doesn't get talked about as much as it deserves to.
And is it me, or does Erin look like Danielle Harris in certain shots and scenes? Hmm...
Not just you.
I don't know what it is about A.J. Bowen, but I end up liking even his most unlikeable characters. Another thing, Erin really is one of the best final girls (if not the best), I've seen in a horror movie. Her smartest choice by far in the movie was killing her fiancé, there was no way he was letting her live after witnessing all that.
YOU'RE NEXT is a badass Horror Movie! 💯🔪🐐
Saw it in the theater.
This is one of my all time favs!! Love this!!!
That song in the movie is EVERYTHING!
Lol, loved the singing at the beginning! It was perfect. That song does stand out in this movie so much.
Classic movie, one of my favorites of all time
I AM LIVING FOR THAT OPENING 😍🔥🎶
Haha thank you so much Jill!! ❤️🎹🎤
When I heard the synth music when Erin was setting up that trap in the climax. I was transported back to the 80’s and I was born in the late 90’s!!!!
Erin, Sidney, Nancy and Ginny from Friday 2...four of my favorite final girls!
That's mine 4 as well! Great choices
Honestly I cannot believe that you haven’t reviewed this movie!!! I know you are the one who got me to watch it a couple years back!! 💜🖤🤍♏️ I absolutely loved it!!! Yes I also agree how PERFECT Erin is the ultimate final girl 🙌
I love this one! Erin is my #3 favorite final girl. I actually consider Erin to be the killer. I believe this movie was ahead of it's time. If it came out today it would have blown up.
One of the best home invasion horrors of out time. Me, my gf and my friend all dressed up as the three villains two Halloweens ago. If you're wondering where I got the masks from, I got them from 'Maniac masks' on 'etsy' . They are screen accurate as they're made from the same animal masks used in the film and touched up with a brilliant and accurate paint job.
This ones top 5 of all time for me. Literally.
Aw love the intro! 💓 Omg after non-stop coverage, watching all the insanity going on right now a video from you is perfect to end the evening just what I needed. Thank you!!
Easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Even my dad who doesn't like horror movies loves this one. We watched it last week and we were literally laughing the entire way through. I don't know which is funnier, the killer stepping on the nails or the blender to the head, but it's all just terrifically, great fun. It's hard to find those slasher movies that are simultaneously a true dark comedy. There are also plenty of good quality jump scares in You're Next. I know this movie took over 2 years to make it to theaters. I feel blessed that we got to see this movie finally released and I'll never forget how much fun I had watching it all by myself in the Fort Benning movie theater. Great review!!
Erin is one the most badass final girls ever! Along side Trish Jarvis, Rachel Carruthers and Whitney Miller.
Great review Lee, i love this film, tense, suspenseful, gory & what a great bad ass final girl in Sharni Vinson (Erin).
Oh & that shock ending truly brilliant.
Lee I recommend you check out another decent horror with Sharni Vinson called The House on Willow Street, definitely worth a watch.
the intro sounds awesome
Perfectly said! It's actually been quite a while since i've seen this and what i loved most about it was how dynamic it was (the intensity never really died down and because of this, i was fully engaged). So deserving of A Trapped on a Island
It's because of your review I went ahead and ordered this on bluray. I watched this last night and loved it! This movie was a lot of fun.
I’m so happy you reviewed and liked one of my favorite horror/favorite movies ever. Erin FTW!
Ooooh totally forgot about that clothes-line scene!!!! I must rewatch this at once!!!
The feel of the song "Looking for the Magic", and, how it was used in the movie, reminds me of "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in Zodiac. Also, the main character reminds me a little of Linda Blair when she was young.
2010s had some strong dark comedy/horror films on the backs of fun ,interesting female characters. You're Next,Ready or Not , Happy Death Day , Tragedy Girls, The BabySitter, Better Watch Out,The Final Girls etc. And if you count Jennifer's Body and the Hunt then I'd say it was the era of cool final girls
You're Next (2011) is one of the most greatest slasher movies of all time. It was something new, fresh, unique, inventive, stylish, cool, edgy, hip, and updated. They really took the "home invasion" concept and theme to a whole another level as it was just absolutely and positivity constructed perfectly. It was such a nail-biting and intense thrill ride as it kept me on the edge of my seat. 😰😱 Sharni Vinson did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Erin as she put tons of emotion and depth into her role as she is definitely and completely a great "Final Girl" in the horror genre as she will be a excellent horror icon. It was decent and to this day I still watch it. You're Next (2011) is a true blue modern gem in horror cinema. Adam Wingard directed a classic that will be in our hearts forever. It never gets old. 😍😎💯👍
Great review. This is such an incredible film. Erin is such an awesome and bad ass character.
I was so pleasantly surprised by this flick.
The SPFX crew of this film the the Special Effects for my Halloween Fan Film.
Your INTRO was Everything, Lee!!! Love ALL your reviews😁💕
Thanks so much Nikita!!
The intro was THE BEST get it Lee 🙌🏽✨
Definitely checking this out. Slasher genre is one of my favorites and I have not watched a horror movie in the last month b/c I have been watching Ozark. As always great review Lee.
Thanks for the review and you are ready for an album.
I didnt like when the cop shoots Erin at the end. I see what they were going for but it ruined that badass moment for me. Love this movie!
Awesome review! Erin is my all time favorite Final Girl!
Dwight Twilley looking for the magic is the jam! Luv youre next Adam Wingard best movie so far my opinion. Top 5 final girl prolly Erin was a beast and the blender kill was great! Great review lee 👍🤟
Awesome review Lee. This movie set the benchmark for home invasion movies and the final girl kicked some serious ass.
I remember how surprised i was by this movie when i first saw it, and how it has such awesome final girl. It's a really good horror film, but i would put Wingard's The Guest above it, since it's one of my all time favorites.
The guest is classic, and such a fun mix of horror and action.
I love that song “looking for the magic” and how well it fits into the movie lol. Great film all around
I was obsessed with that song after this movie.
one of the best slasher/thriller to have come out in the last decade. I love this movie.
Love horror films got hundreds and hundreds of dvds. My favourite genre of film.
Erin!!! "Rambo final girl" is perfect for her, Ah love her!!!
I loved that comparison as well! Best Final Girl ever
Thanks for the review, Lee! I loved this one! Such a good movie! Regarding the style & movies that our time will be remembered for - I think it’s our modern classics: Get Out, Hereditary, Midsommar, Suspiria remake, Goodnight Mommy, VVitch, Us, etc.
Just watched this one. Sharni Vinson was great, and it's unfortunate she's not been in much else. That bit with the blender was hilarious. My only real complaint would be that if they'd just set it in the 90s, they wouldn't have had to do that hand-wavey "cell phone jammer" bit. As Mike Flanagan once said, "I hate cell phones; they ruin storytelling."
Another movie I've never seen but now got to.
I like You're Next. it's like Ready or Not in a way. But I do really love Ready or Not. I didn't think I would love it but I did
I love this movie and Erin is my favourite final girl, followed by Nancy. My mother taught her six kids to think like Erin does in this movie. Prepare, get create, the best form of defence is attack. My mum is badass and is only 5 feet tall.
Haha your mum is a badass!
Your next great movie very well made. Another classic 80,s film was nightmare in a damaged brain. American film which I watched as a teenager the uncut version is truly awesome
I love this movie but the guests is even better
What’s in the box?!!! You’re Next is one of the best horror films of the last decade!
I have to check this one out now.
That movie inspire my logo, that my favorite slasher so far damn...
Sharni v,is awesome in this,need a sequel!robp
Love the T shirt Lee! 💯😎
Your spot on with the song, I experienced the same thing with Mama Tried from The Strangers.
RIP to Nicholas Tucci, he passed this year from cancer.
So, this is the first I've heard of You're Next, and may change after I see the movie, but triggered the wrestling fan side of my brain. How so? First, the title, sounds like the answer to Goldberg's catchphrase of Who's Next. Then, the sheep mask, very much like Erick Rowan wore, and Braun Stroman with Braun's being black when both was in The Wyatt Family. Then Clothesline, that one speaks for itself. Then you mentioned TNA, what Impact Wrestling use to be called. Yeah, so much that my wrestling mind already connected with this movie. 😉😂🤣 But seriously, does sound interesting, and I'll totally check my streaming services for it. Thank you, Lee.
Love all the wrestling references you mentioned lol. Absolutely you should give You're Next a watch!
One of the best final girls ever, Erin is how most main characters should act in horror instead of the oblivious dimwits we tend to get
Agreed. Erin rules.
This is the first time hearing about this movie. Looks good through. Another movie to my watch list.
I search for this review after just finishing watching this movie for the umpteenth time! I love this movie and Erin is one of the best final girls ever; she is perfect in every way. I was disappointed there wasn’t a sequel.
Erin it top tier for sure.
This movie was wow, a bloody good time! I cant believe how good it was.
I have the DVD 📀 and after hearing that song downloaded it too! Lol 😆
I was so surprised when I went to see this movie in the theatre. Great horror, great humor!
Erik Van Rent Hell yeah. So glad I saw it in the theater.
You’re Next is in my Top 20 favorite horror movies. I agree Looking for the Magic was the perfect song for the movie. Also, Erin is my favorite final girl
Good movie with great final girl.
Absolutely loved this movie was working with the fox mask killer when he went to film for this, I was the only person who knew everyone else was told it was a medical leave which was somewhat true he had an injury flare up
The final girl was bad ass
Se7en is one of my favorite movies ever
I mean the name alone hello and I 💯 agree. When we saw this it did not disappoint! And the final girl kicks ass! Curious though, did she survive?
One of the greatest slashers ever made!!!
I had to look up the opening song after watching this video.
It took me a long time to see this movie after it came out and I knew nothing about it but I finally watched it a couple years ago. I was just amazed how cool of a final girl Erin in You're next was with full Rambo style traps. I was so surprised with her and it really cool to have a final girl with my name being a horror fan.
That song is so infectious. Love it!
"You're Next," to me, is trying to evoke a 70s exploitation movie, while planting its feet firmly in 21st century horror, and I think it succeeds marvelously in mixing these two separate eras to create a quality of timelessness.
Start with the locations like the neighbor's house which is a mid-century modern adorned with those iconic 70s vertical wood slat panels. The main house in contrast, is much a more traditional Tudor mansion, seems like a vintage country estate the family had refurbished. Several of it's rooms are decorated with elaborate wallpaper and it still has that grid-patterned board and batten walnut wood paneling in the dining room and front hall where so much of the action takes place. Neither dwelling is specifically emblematic of the 70s, in fact by that time they were rapidly-growing-dated styles representative of their social groups from that era (the swinging mid-mod representing the bachelor and the stately country mansion representing the wealthy parents), but I feel like I saw those 'types' of houses (and those mentioned decors) in a lot of media from the late 60 and throughout the 70s. Neither seems jarring in the present as those vintage architectures and styles were coming back into fashion by the 2010s.
Speaking of fashion, remember how Drake's wife is wearing an outfit with a large frilly collar? It was bugging me why they went with such a dated (almost frumpy/secretarial) clothing choice, but now I think it was deliberate. Same with the sister's flowy top or Drake's turtleneck, all were popular clothing styles of that time that seem just slightly out of place now. Add to it all the brown and orange hues (the dad's sweater vest, the director character's scarf, Crispin's blazer, Erin's sweater) which narratively could be chalked up to film taking place in Autumn, but thematically still evoke the 70s, and I think there's a definite intentional allusion from the costume department.
Lastly, there's the obvious comparative media of the 1970s with "The Last House on the Left," "Straw Dogs," "Black Christmas," even "A Clockwork Orange" and other exploitation films that focus on a home invasion aspect (there sure were a lot of them in the 70s, weren't there?). Thankfully "You're Next" turns the tropes of these ancestral films on their head with Erin's competency, calm, and general badassery. Taken altogether, I'd say there's more than a chance that the director or someone on the creative team had the 70s in mind when making the film.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you think this might be a deliberate evocation or not.
Give it till 2030 I'm sure that distinction will be seen, it usually takes a couple decades for movies to stand for its decade before that there just great or good movies It hasn't even been ten years since you're next came out, I'd say the 0o's will be known for the found footage horror, like 80's was known for it's slashers though it signature slasher came out the last year of the 70's like the signature found footage movie did
This movie had me on pin and needles. Fantastic film.
If you like “your next” check out “ready or not”. Similar vibe but still different. I wasn’t expecting much from it but was pleasantly surprised and entertained by the film. Samara weaving was great in it but Great performances all around, worth a watch for sure.
I’ve reviewed Ready or Not. Excellent film.
Drumdums I’ll check that out at work tomorrow for sure. Great vid as usual sir. You help me with my constant need for a horror fix and I thank you. Cheers
Shreddie Krueger Thanks for watching brother!
She is the best final girl she not running away she actually has a set and fights back
I love You’re Next and The Guest so much
Me too!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews The Guest is the greatest Carpenter movie that Carpenter didn't direct
So the same person who did this also did The Guest??! I LOVE The Guest!!!!
Lila T So do I. Hell, I’ve enjoyed pretty much everything I’ve seen from Adam Wingard, including the American remake of Death Note, a movie that pissed off anime fanboys so badly (death threats were involved) that Adam had to quit Twitter. Shit like that makes me understand why Jason from Sinister Cinema Reviews has such a strong hatred of anime fans.
Yes ma’am!!
I love this movie! However, I've always considered it a home invasion movie due to its style and setting. Thoughts?
Such a fun movie.
I agree 100%. Best final girl and it sucks because there was supposed to be a sequel with her
We need a sequel!
Us Slasher Fans deserve a Sequel and want to watch Erin kick more ass!
